Job description
Client: General Translation
Mercor is seeking experienced Swahili Linguistic Experts to join a cutting-edge AI research project in partnership with a leading research lab. This role centers on evaluating how effectively a large language model (LLM) performs in Swahili-language tasks and on curating high-quality Swahili linguistic data to train and improve the model's understanding and generation capabilities.
Key Responsibilities:
Evaluate the quality and accuracy of LLM-generated Swahili text across various use cases (e.g., translation, summarization, dialogue, grammar correction).
Edit, refine, or rewrite Swahili content to meet linguistic and cultural standards for Swahili-speaking audiences.
Annotate Swahili text for grammatical, syntactic, and semantic features.
Identify model errors and language gaps, and collaborate with AI researchers to improve LLM performance.
Provide detailed linguistic feedback and analysis to guide ongoing model training efforts.
You're a strong fit if you have:
Native or near-native fluency in Swahili, with excellent command over grammar, syntax, and stylistics.
Professional experience in translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work in Swahili.
Strong understanding of Swahili nuances, regional variations, register, and context-appropriate usage.
Professional fluency in English.
Interest in AI and LLM-driven language technologies (preferred but not required).
Excellent attention to detail and ability to spot subtle errors or unnatural phrasing.
Clear communication skills and experience working in distributed, remote teams.
Why Join
Contribute to cutting-edge AI research in partnership with a leading research lab.
Work on high-impact projects that directly support the development of advanced AI systems.
Gain hands-on exposure to state-of-the-art AI research and development.
